14 January 2014 - Hogan Lovells has been ranked 48th in the Stonewall Top 100 Employers 2014 Workplace Equality Index, published today, 14 January. This marks the fifth consecutive year that Hogan Lovells has entered the Top 100 list, and the fourth time it has reached the top 50.

We are thrilled to have received this recognition from Stonewall for the fifth consecutive year for our commitment to LGBT employees".
